The 26 pages that link to Flash memory, each with the reason it gives.

• Embedded systemRelated: It commonly stores embedded programs and data when power is off.

• Random-access memoryCompared with: Flash preserves data without power, while typical RAM is faster and volatile.

• Solid-state driveNarrower topic: It is the memory technology underlying most consumer SSDs.

• MetastabilityRelated: Its charge states are metastable and remain distinguishable until deliberately erased.

• Dynamic random-access memoryCompared with: Flash retains data without power, unlike DRAM, but has different speed and endurance tradeoffs.

• Read-only memoryBroader topic: It is a widely used EEPROM-derived technology for rewritable persistent storage.

• Semiconductor fabricationBroader topic: Its specialized cell structures require precise control of insulating and charge-storage layers.

• Static random-access memoryCompared with: Flash retains data without power, whereas SRAM supports faster repeated access but is volatile.

• Handheld game consoleRelated: It stores downloaded games, saves, and system software.

• Coding theoryRelated: Error-correcting codes compensate for bit errors that increase with wear and shrinking cell margins.

• iPodRelated: Flash storage enabled small, skip-resistant iPod models such as the iPod nano.

• Computer memoryRelated: It retains data without power and underlies many storage devices.

• Non-volatile memoryBroader topic: Its charge-storage cells underpin the flash storage used in phones, drives, and memory cards.

• Low-density parity-check codeRelated: LDPC decoding helps correct errors that increase as flash cells wear or store more bits.

• Magnetoresistive random-access memoryCompared with: Flash is denser and widely used for storage, while MRAM offers different write and endurance characteristics.

• Volatile memoryCompared with: Flash keeps data without power, making it a common persistent-storage counterpart to RAM.

• Memory cellBroader topic: Its cell retains a programmed state without power.

• Wear levelingNarrower topic: Wear leveling addresses the finite erase endurance of this storage medium.

• Memory cardNarrower topic: Most modern memory cards use flash cells to retain files after removal.

• Secure DigitalNarrower topic: SD cards retain files without power because their storage cells use flash memory.

• Hamming codeRelated: Hamming codes have been used for error correction in lower-error-rate flash devices.

• SD cardNarrower topic: SD cards retain data without power using flash-memory chips.

• Magnetic storageCompared with: It offers fast electronic access without moving magnetic media.

• ToshibaBroader topic: Toshiba helped develop NAND flash, a technology central to its semiconductor legacy.

• MultiMediaCardNarrower topic: MMC stores data in flash cells rather than requiring continuous power.

• Portable media playerRelated: Flash memory lets players store media without moving parts.
